Media Portal Help (1 Viewer)

[robc606]

I have recently installed media portal succesfully on a small pc used in the louge for a media center hooked to my TV. The problem is when searching for TV channels it picks up only analoug, would it be possible to pick up digital TV becuase it is built into the TV ( Model : Samsung LE32R7 ). Also I have a MCE remote with the tv card, PVR 150, but the buttons are not working such as Back, resulting in gettin stuck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Using the latest SVN version should help your remote problem.

Installing SVN Fixed the problem fine thank you! Any ideas about getting the inbuilt digital?

You need a capture card that has a digital tuner. The PVR 150 is an analog card. You may be able to cature from your TV, if it has audio/video outputs. This would only be captured in standard definition (SD), though.

Thanks for your reply, so a new TV Card is need? Any recommendation that will work with the setup?

I can't recommend any cards for your country. I only have experience with the USA's ATSC cards.

There is a section in the Wiki on supported TV cards. Also, here is a thread about it (it's for the beta tvengine3):

Keep in mind, it depends on which version of MP you are using. I use the last stable version 0.2.2.0.

Your system appears to be powerful enough to handle a sofware encoding card, but your video card may not be good enough. I would try it first, before buying a new video card.
